The Health Care Auxiliary of Minnesota (HCAM) is an organization of auxiliaries and/or volunteer groups serving health care facilities across Minnesota. HCAM represents 83 health care auxiliaries in Minnesota totaling in excess of 18,000 persons volunteering in services to hospitals and long-term care facilities. In 2013 those volunteer services represented statewide more than 1.3 million hours at a total estimated value of $29.75 million. These same groups raised funds in excess of $3.3 million for their facilities.

HCAM recognizes the importance of outstanding leadership to the success of an auxiliary or volunteer program. We as auxilians or volunteers work closely with the personnel and administration in our hospitals and care facilities. We take pride in all they do for us. Their interest, effort, encouragement and support make our auxiliaries and volunteer programs effective.

As HCAM members you are encouraged to submit nominations for the Heart of MN Awards for your outstanding volunteer, your outstanding volunteer director and/or your CEO that has provided you with outstanding support.
